Poseidon’s Daughter is a small start-up swimwear manufacturer. When I began looking for a prototyping company, I quickly learned from professionals in the industry that I had one of the best in my own back yard. Clothier Design Source has exceeded my expectations in developing high quality prototypes for my business. The designs were so good that I can use some of the styles for future seasons. Throughout the prototyping process I have been able to ask questions and get them answered in a timely manner. CDS has gone the extra mile to understand my brand and how their work fits my brand. I am so pleased with their work that I will be using CDS for manufacturing also. So grateful that manufacturing is returning to the USA!!!

The size sets are fantastic! They are perfect! You guys have really done a phenomenal job and I couldn’t be happier. The quality and value of your work, the ease of working with you, and the whole experience has been nothing short of outstanding! Thank you so much, Danielle, to you and the whole team at CDS! I look forward to developing other lines with you in the future and have recommended you very highly!

Mindy and her team at CDS are professionals! They guide you through their process to make sure everything is covered. CDS stands behind their products and commitments and only make promises they can keep. Hard to find companies you want to work with and trust, but that is exactly what you get with CDS. We have been working with Mindy for 5+ years and have never been disappointed. Without CDS, we would be lost!

— Deb Owens

Mindy Martell has assembled an outstanding group of talented technical designers who work together to provide clients a carefully designed product with corresponding tech packets that will clearly direct their chosen factory to produce the desired product. Mindy is a consummate professional who possess excellent technical and design skills along with a management style that allows her team to deliver as promised. She is able to see the big picture and avoid issues that could otherwise negatively impact a project. I highly recommend both her and her team.
